Title:Little murders: thirty years ago, editorial illustration in our mainstream media was provocative and smart, driving the words as often as following them. Today much of it is literal and safe, more decorative than idea-driven. How did this happen in an age where image is everything?

I really like this article. Especially as my recent work is quite risque and pokes fun at serious topical subjects so would argue against this the title statement. Although it's an interesting statement and can still be related to what I'm looking at, what illustrators are driven by, why do they create the type of work that they do.
